Nie Yiheng bought the groceries very quickly. Not long after, he came back with a lot of vegetables in his hands. He threw his wallet casually, and the wallet landed steadily on the coffee table. It seemed that his ability to shoot through the air from a hundred paces away was not in vain. He just glanced at Dongzhu casually and went into the kitchen.
Dongzhu knew that he didn't want to talk to her. And yes, if someone suddenly pestered her like this, she would be extremely annoyed, but...
The next step was for Dongzhu to run into the kitchen. Nie Yiheng was squatting there picking vegetables. He seemed to be from the army, so he was good at everything he did, and he was a down-to-earth and practical man.
Dongzhu looked at the vegetables he bought and saw a fish. Dongzhu thought she would take care of the fish, but as soon as she took the fish out, the fish jumped around. Dongzhu was startled and stepped back.
It seemed like there was someone standing behind her. Dongzhu turned around and saw Nie Yiheng standing behind her.
"Get out of the way," he said.
He casually took out his apron from behind the door, tied it around himself, and started processing the fish by the pool.
There were fish scales, blood stains, and internal organs on his hands, which was bloody and cruel. But when this bloodiness and cruelty were associated with him, Dongzhu felt indescribably sexy. Maybe it was because he had been a soldier, and he was very skilled in handling fish.
Dongzhu couldn't help but think of an article she had read before, which was probably called "The Cook's Fish Processing Technique". It was about a young man in the vegetable market who was very skilled in handling fish. Once the fish came into his hands, he could cook it in no time. His movements were beautiful and smooth. The article also said that the young man was very handsome, cool and the type who didn't talk much. Dongzhu couldn't forget the young man after reading the article. She liked this type of fish. Unexpectedly, one day, the young man in the book came down and cooked fish for Dongzhu himself.
This feeling is so wonderful.
Moreover, Nie Yiheng is more handsome and more masculine than the young man in the book.
Nie Yiheng quickly cut the fish into pieces, added cooking wine and salt, marinated it, and then continued to sit there and pick vegetables.
Dongzhu had only seen Nie Yiheng as a soldier before, and seldom saw him in real life. But when she saw him one day, she was so skillful and could even cook fish, and she actually felt warmed.
Dongzhu couldn't stop laughing.
She bent one leg and squatted in front of Nie Yiheng, "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need!" Nie Yiheng said firmly, and then put the selected vegetables into the vegetable sink.
"Let me help you wash?" Dongzhu said.
"You can't wash it clean." Nie Yiheng said coldly.
"Hey, you look down on me, don't you?" Dongzhu said again, "Who doesn't know how to wash vegetables?"
"You won't." Nie Yiheng said without relaxing his movements.
Nie Yiheng no longer ignored her and washed the vegetables by himself. After washing the roots and leaves, he put them in the basin to drain. Then he started to shred potatoes. The shredded potatoes were thin and shiny, and his cutting skills were also very attractive. Dongzhu stared at him intently, thinking that if Nie Yiheng became a chef, he would become an Internet celebrity. There is a kind of person who will have an irresistible brilliance no matter how he hides it. Nie Yiheng is such a person.
After chopping and washing the vegetables, Nie Yiheng washed his hands and called his mother. His mother said she would be back soon. Nie Yiheng said, "Then I will cook?"
"Okay." Mom said. Today was probably the happiest day for her, as her son cooked the meal himself.
Nie Yiheng prepared a table of food very quickly, but before the dishes were served, his parents came back.
Dongzhu was serving dishes, but when she heard that Nie Yiheng's parents had returned, she immediately went out to greet them.
Dongzhu's parents were very kind to her. During dinner, her mother asked her what her name was, and she told her.
Nie Yiheng's mother was very happy because she was the one who washed Nie Yiheng's clothes. She naturally knew that the name written on Nie Yiheng's clothes was "Dongzhu". It seemed that the two of them had been in contact for more than a day or two.
Nie Yiheng's mother asked Dongzhu where she was from. Dongzhu thought for a moment and said, "Fengcheng."
Nie Yiheng paused for a moment. It seemed that Miaomiao was married and her hometown was Fengcheng.
Just as he remembered Yang Jin's name because there was the word "Jin" in it, and also because Dongzhu was from Fengcheng, Nie Yiheng's heart softened a little.
Everything was inextricably linked to Nie Yiheng because of some connection with that person.
"Is your last name Dong?" Nie's mother asked again.
Dongzhu thought about it and said that because her original name was not very nice, she gave herself a new one. Since she often does translation, her name would appear occasionally.
She didn't say her last name was Jiang, because once people heard her last name was Jiang and she was from Fengcheng, they would know who she was as soon as they looked up her name. She didn't want to create such a big gap between her and Nie Yiheng before she was even born.
Although she didn't care, she was afraid that Nie Yiheng did care.
Of course, he doesn't care about anything now!
Dongzhu tries to make him care about her for a day.
"Being a translator? That sounds pretty impressive." Nie's father also said.
During the whole process, Nie Yiheng kept picking up food and eating, ignoring everyone and not saying a word.
Mother Nie stepped on him several times, but he didn't move. She knew that he was now the kind of stubborn person. His personality had changed drastically after he came back from the army. Mother Nie didn't force him anymore, for fear that it would be bad if he broke down. The girl came to his house, but he didn't know how to keep warm. Nie Yiheng had never dated a girl before, but it seemed that he was like this to girls.
It's rare that this girl doesn't care.
Mother Nie also apologized to Dongzhu, "Dongzhu, please don't be so formal. He is always like this, to everyone. That's why, after so many years, he doesn't even have a girlfriend, not even one."
You see, after Nie's mother said that, the shortcomings became shining advantages.
Dongzhu glanced at Nie Yiheng and said, "It's okay. I know."
Dongzhu is really of great quality, and Mother Nie is very satisfied.
After dinner, Dongzhu said she wanted to go back to the hotel. Mother Nie said, "Hotels are so expensive. It would be better to stay at home."
Dongzhu glanced at Nie Yiheng and saw that he frowned slightly. She said, "Auntie, I know my limits and can't stay outside. I'll stay at the Westin Hotel. Let Nie Yiheng take me back."
Mother Nie agreed readily.
After Dongzhu left, Mother Nie remembered that there was a girl who had come to their house. Although both girls were extremely beautiful, their personalities were very different. That one was as quiet as a chrysanthemum, with long, flowing hair, very black and soft. There was a soft quality in her eyebrows and eyes, very sweet, and you could tell at a glance that she had never suffered hardship; this one was also beautiful, but there was a sharp gaze in her eyebrows and eyes, and you could tell at a glance that she was not the kind of person who would easily change her mind, and would not let go of her principles. In comparison, Mother Nie liked this one better, mainly because the other one was already married. As long as Yiheng had a partner, she would feel at ease. She was already 28 years old, almost 30, and she was not young anymore.
